no doubt Berlin is a city famous for its openness; a multicultural melting pot which draws in people from all over the world. That said, there’s also a fairly serious set of rules which all Berliners (permanent and temporary alike) must abide by if they want to blend in. Newcomers and tourists should read this kind of don’ts for Berlin so that they do not need to face any problem. I hope you will not miss visiting the Berlin Wall as it is one of the best things to do in Germany during your travel.

When I was Berlin, I decided to take a train to Warsaw and I definitely recommend that option.It is fun to see how similar, yet different those both cities are. I really liked how easy-going nightlife in the capital of Poland is. Places like New Orlean Club really stands out (great pole dancing shows there!)

Hi Bob,
That’s excellent advice about taking it slow. I spent five days there a few years back and feel like I barely scratched the surface. I can’t wait to go back and get a little lost again!

With my high school and college German, I felt confident I could handle my new home. Why, I’d even studied the map before landing. Oops. I quickly learned that this city is very flat. No landmarks in the distance to orient you. Not only that, but you can be walking down one street (don’t go by blocks, nothing rectangular about them) and suddenly you’re on a different one. Streets often change names. Hmm….. Berlin can be a very humbling experience. Go slowly, expect to get confused.

Hi Nicky and Susanne,

Ok, thanks. I stand corrected. 🙂

Struggling to think of Soviet-style architecture in Marzahn. True, the macro-level design is redolent of microrayons everywhere in central and eastern Europe, but there’s nothing particularly Soviet about that. Chief architect Heinz Graffunder was German born, German trained and his work was very much as an ambassador for DDR values and design. He designed, for example, the DDR Embassy in Budapest.

But in its grammar and detail, Graffunder’s Marzahn project was entirely devoid of the neoclassical elements and excessive ornamentation which we’d associate with Soviet-style architecture. Marzahn is most definitely worth a visit, as you suggest. But it’s not really “Soviet-Style.” It is a very German take on the landscapes of communism.
Hasta la victoria siempre!

I love these tips from an insider – Especially #1 and #3. In Spain tipping is the same, but you actually can pay with card a lot, so I find myself not tipping more often than not. And the craziest part is, tipping is often a surprise to wait staff. Thanks for sharing these tips!
